Buy Only If You Want DD-WRT - 10/31/2015 18:11:32

Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!]

Strength: Powerfull Hardware with lots of RAM and Flash

Weakness:- Stock firmware from ASUS
- Known for a certain capacitor to fail over time , which can be replaced if one knows how to use a soldering iron.

Summary:I bought this router with the intension reflash it with DD-WRT , but i gave the stock firmware a shot to see if it is any good.
I had it running for 2 - 3 hours and i have to say it was the worst and unreliable firmware i ever seen on a router.
The WIFI would constantly disconnect , loss of connection on the WAN port and probably some other issues that i didn't run into within those 3 hours.
Conclusion : Don't buy this router if you are not going to reflash it .
I flashed this router to DD-WRT version : DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/22/14) big - build 25697
With DD-WRT the router operates very reliably so far.

Excellent hardware platform - 11/16/2014 21:38:32

Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!]

Strength: I can only speak to this routers performance running a third-party firmware based on tomato. I did NOT run stock firmware.
The hardware is excellent value especially when considering its semi-pro capabilities when coupled with solid firmware, high-throughput usage, and a decent understanding of good networking practices. This router performs the following functions VERY well:
-Quality of Service
-Multiple VLANs / Wireless VLANs
-Reliable Client and Server VPN Operation (Using OpenVPN)
-Port Forwarding and Device WOL (Wake on LAN)
-Decent Range when using an ideal frequency (Determined by scanning for frequency saturation of neighbouring networks)

Weakness:I have not found one to date.

Summary:I have used and recommended only these devices for network installs personally and professionally. Using it's strengths, the RT-N16 router will carry all kinds of traffic (Video streaming, gaming, VoIP, VPN, torrent,etc) over multiple networks without breaking a sweat, I have not had a device go down unexpectedly yet.
All in all, there is no better Wireless N router on the market at it's price point.
